She denies the allegations.
The alleged victim was said to have come out of her home to check on Milligan as she lay in the road crying after being locked out at midnight following an argument with her partner.
The court heard that junior solicitor Milligan, 31, and business and office solicitor Benjamin Waistell, 33, had been drinking since 1pm in May 2022.
Footage taken by Ms Adebiyi on her cellphone and clips from a nearby video doorbell show Milligan yelling: “Close your door you ugly bitch” and “You’re a fucking ugly bitch”.
Mrs. Adebiyi also says she called her “black bitch” or “black binta” but did not record the words because she was calling the police at the time.
The video shown to the jury shows Waistell yelling: “Sorry to be disturbed by someone sad. F off.”
Mrs. Adebiyi also shouts, “I will broadcast this. You fucking racists will lose your job.”
Prosecutor Nicholas Hearn described it as a “deeply unpleasant row”.
Human rights lawyer Milligan, who works on racial discrimination cases, admitted to police she was drunk and said she was confronted by a “violent black woman”.
Mrs Adebiyi told the jury: “I believe that there were racist insults the whole time.
“She threatened to kick me in the head and the next thing I knew she was at my door grabbing my neck and I grabbed her hair.

“The door was opened violently by her partner, slamming me into the wall. He is built like a rugby player. I’m sure he has a face for his clients, but it’s different from the angry face I’ve seen.”
Milligan, of Wandsworth, south London, denies the attack was racially motivated.
The trial at Kingston upon Thames Crown Court continues.
